STATUS LA Magazine, Hollywood’s latest must-read magazine, has selected NewspaperDirect (ND) to launch its high-impact publication on tablets, mobile and the Web. Virtually overnight, and with no investment in IT infrastructure, STATUS LA Magazine will be able to broaden its global distribution to millions of potential readers who access ND’s vast library of digital magazines and newspapers via its PressReader apps and PressDisplay.com website.

STATUS LA Magazine launched its digital and print editions simultaneously at a red-carpet party celebrating Hollywood’s sexiest angels and demons in its initial distribution to over 13 million subscribers worldwide. The highly visual, celebrity-focused magazine has instant distribution on Apple iPad and iPhone, BlackBerry PlayBook as well as a wide range of Android and Windows tablets. STATUS LA Magazine is taking full advantage of the enhanced digital replica experience offered by ND’s technology, which delivers full-color, high-resolution content and images on all the latest devices.

“Working with Steve Chapman and the team at NewspaperDirect has been a fantastic experience,” said Timothy Woodward Jr., publisher of STATUS LA Magazine.

“Their cutting-edge technology and massive distribution platform enables us to reach millions of readers worldwide. With this partnership we’ve been able to dramatically enhance our footprint — and the possibilities for growth are just endless,” added Lauren de Normandie, editor of STATUS LA Magazine.
